Here a Josh, there a Josh…

It’s shaping up to be a very busy holiday for one-of-a-kind monologist Josh Kornbluth. While others are celebrating, Kornbluth will spend New Year’s Eve doing his taxes — performing his terrific 2003 solo “Love & Taxes” atRhythmix Cultural Worksin Alameda. And not once, but twice, at 7 p.m. ($35) and 10 p.m. ($45, with champagne toast).

Josh Kornbluth in his monologue “Love & Taxes.”

It’s one of Kornbluth’s classic monologues, timeless — or, more aptly, ever timely — in its plunge into one hapless citizen’s comic descent into a dizzying maelstrom of accumulated tax problems and his race to get them sorted out in time to marry his beloved Sara before their baby is born. Developed, like much of his best work, with director David Dower, it’s a daring expose of personal finances and a touching love story, wrapped in hilarity and garnished with an understanding of why paying taxes is good for us all.

But that’s not all. Three days later — that would be Jan. 3 — Kornbluth opens a two-week revival of his latest piece, “Sea of Reeds,” presented by Shotgun Players (where it opened last summer) at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco’s Kanbar Hall (through Jan. 12). Also developed with and directed by Dower, “Reeds” is Kornbluth’s first non-solo show — a tale of learning the oboe, studying the

Book of Exodus, visiting Israel and getting bar-mitzvahed as a 52-year-old atheist — performed with the invaluable Amy Resnick (who collaborated on the script) and a backup quartet.

It’s funny, of course, and it’s thought-provoking — a combination that has made Kornbluth a Bay Area treasure since he began exposing his personal life with “Red Diaper Baby” in 1989. And this time, the personal, political and comical is musical as well.
